UPDATE: NO GAMES TONIGHT. Rain has pushed all the games back ONE DAY.

With a flurry of makeup games the final week of the regular season, the dust has finally settled to reveal our playoff seedings. The Orioles were able to barely hold on to the top overall seed as the Eastern Division Champion, over the Central Division Champion Bristol Knights. It was a frenetic final week, but here are the final regular season standings and playoff seedings. Glastonbury held off Elmer’s for the 3 Seed, the Royals finished in 5th, and the Angels were able to avoid ending in the bottom 4.

In the CTL Double Elimination Playoffs, all teams make the post season, but the bottom 4 start with 1 loss in the elimination bracket, while the two division winners start with a bye in the tournament. Day 1 Starts today, Monday August 7th with 4 games at 3 fields. In the 6pm opener at Rotary Field in South Windsor, we have a battle of the leagues 2 expansion teams for 2017. The 10th Seed Wethersfield Dodgers face the 7th seed Loco Perro Expos. This game is followed by the 5th seed Royals facing the 4th seed Elmers at 8pm at Rotary Field. We also have a pair of alternate site 7pm games. The 3rd seed Glastonbury Pirates host the 6 seed East Hartford Angels at Riverfront Park in Glastonbury. Also at 7pm, the 8 seed Willimantic Ridges host the 9 seed Brickhouse Indians at Rec Park in Willimantic. Of the Expos, Ridges, Indians, and Dodgers… two teams seasons will end the first night of the playoffs.

The top two seeds don’t play until Wednesday, and the finals for who ever makes it that far start next Wednesday August 16th. If there is any rainouts, the schedule will simply push back a day (or timeslot) as needed. All teams should be ready to play and plan for the possibility of their game being pushed back as today’s weather isn’t looking great right now. Good luck to all teams and thanks to all the coaches, players, umpires, fans, and the CTL Board for all your dedication this year.
